47.18 - 60.0 lb

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

  • Observe local occupation health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual handling.
  • Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the chassis during installation or removal.
  • The server is unstable when not fastened to the rails.
  • When mounting the server in a rack, remove the power supplies and any other removable module to reduce the overall weight of the product.

    CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
  1. Install the server into the rack. Refer to the installation instructions that ship with the 2U Quick Deploy Rail System for more information.
  2. Install the cable management arm into the rack.

    NOTE: If the cable management arm is mounted on the right side of the rack, you will have to remove it when adding or replacing a redundant hot-plug power supply.

  3. Connect peripheral devices to the server.

    WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telephone or telecommunications connectors into RJ-45 connectors.

    IMPORTANT: If the RILOE II board is installed in the server, be sure that you attach the video cable to the video connector on the rear of the RILOE II board. The standard video connector on the server rear panel is not used when the RILOE II board is installed. For more information, refer to the HP Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II User Guide.

  4. Connect the power cord to the rear of the server.
  5. If you chose not to install the cable management arm, install the power cord anchor to the server.

    Secure the power cord anchor to the server

    NOTE: Peripheral device cables are removed for clarity.

    NOTE: If using the power cord anchor, be sure to leave enough slack in the power cord so that the redundant power supply can be removed without disconnecting the power cord from the primary power supply.

  6. Secure cables to the cable management arm.

    IMPORTANT: When using cable management arm components, be sure to leave enough slack in each of the cables to prevent damage to the cables when the server is extended from the rack.

    Secure the cables to the cable management arm

  7. Connect the power cord to the AC power source.
